Women are still the largest identified victim group in reported domestic and sexual assaults.
The Australian Bureau of Statistic’s Personal Safety Survey 2012 found that: In 2012, an estimated 17% of all women aged 18 years and over (1,479,900 women) and 5.3% of all men aged 18 years and over (448,000 men) had experienced violence by a partner since the age of 15.
The same survey also found that; In 2012 an estimated 17% (1,494,000) of all women aged 18 years and over and 4% (336,000) of all men aged 18 years and over had experienced sexual assault since the age of 15.
The NSW Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research released the NSW Recorded Crime Statistics 2013 report on 10 April 2014.
Unfortunately three of the seven Far North Coast local government areas show domestic violence rates above the state rate and, all seven local government areas had sexual assault rates above the state rate.
